Birds Who Entertain

Birds are stress busters. I could sit for hours and watch them come and go as they visit my feeders, build their nests, and elude predators. The idiosyncrasies of birds are revealed in close up photographs. Several photos in this gallery have earned awards including "Surprise Guest" which received the "People's Choice Award" for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology/ Droll Yankees 2016 Birdspotter Photo Contest (North America) and "Elvis is in the House" awarded Honorable Mention in the birds category for the 2010 Maryland Department of Natural Resources photo contest.
